President Donald Trump made news about various national and international issues on the CBS news magazine 60 Minutes, but one had to wonder why he agreed to an interview on that extreme-liberal program in the first place?
Unlike the worshipful treatment that Obama received from the 60 Minutes “journalists,” Trump had to know that he would be subject to a hostile, interruption-filled interrogation on that platform.
No one wants a softball interview either. But, after a series of questions about the controversial Justice Brett Kavanaugh confirmation struggle in relation to the uncorroborated sexual assault allegations by Christine Blasey Ford, Trump being Trump foolishly came up with the “we won” remark, which predictably blew up on anti-social media without, of course, the context.
What he probably trying to say was that now that Kavanaugh has been seated on the high court, it’s time to move on.
In context, the “doesn’t matter” reference seemed to be referring to the question of whether Ford was being truthful or not rather than his commentary at the Mississippi campaign rally. Nonetheless, given the media atmospherics, Trump needs to be more precise, if that’s possible.
When you’re so bad at your job you can’t even quote your own interview with the president United States correctly.
Seriously – read the transcript.
This is a lie. This is misinformation. This is fake news. https://t.co/a9CiQXIqaX

You can never expect the media to provide context when they are seeking anti-Trump click bait. What he should have said was something along the lines of “Justice Kavanaugh said that something bad happened to Dr. Ford but it wasn’t him, and I agree with him.” He could also benefit from avoiding that “to be honest with you” trope.
Here is the transcript of that exchange:

If you check YouTube, Steve Bannon has been giving a series of interviews in Europe about the populist-nationalist movement. The interviews similarly are more like interrogations from pro-open borders, globalist-trending media. Bannon surely knew was he was getting into. Like him or hate him, Bannon is, however, able to effectively refute many of the echo-chamber-dwelling journalists’ tired, pre-conceived notions. We call them limousine liberals on this aide of the Atlantic; they are known as champagne socialists in Europe.
